Mid-channel buoys typically do not have white lights; they usually display colored lights, such as red or green, to indicate navigational information for mariners. These buoys are primarily used to mark safe passage through channels and to indicate the sides of the navigable waterway. White lights are more commonly found on buoys marking specific hazards or on navigational aids like lighthouses. Always refer to local navigational charts for precise information.

A mid-channel buoy is a floating navigation aid typically positioned in the center of a waterway to help guide vessels through a channel. It serves to mark safe navigation paths, indicating the deepest part of the channel and alerting mariners to potential hazards. These buoys are often equipped with lights or other signaling devices to enhance visibility, especially during low light conditions. They play a crucial role in maritime safety and navigation.
